Speaking of Guns and standoffs

Recommended Posts

I ran across this this morning for the first time in many many years. I'm trying to get things sorted in hopes of a show and I'm digging out the ones I want to get framed. By the way, the matting made it sit odd in the scanner and I didn't take time to rig it flat. The real one doesn't have that weird slant.
It was taken by Mel Nathenson in the early 90s or so. The story is that it was supposed to be entered for a Pulitzer but his boss messed up some paperwork or something. It wasn't a surprise. It shouldn't matter but Mel rubs people the wrong way and there's little doubt that the omission wasn't an accident. Or maybe the whole story is bulshit. But anyway, Mel says it all ended well with the guy taken into custody so there's that. But a Pulitzer would have been nice.
